Fellaini Set To Leave Manchester United For China
Manchester United are currently in talks with a Chinese club with respect to the sale of Belgium midfielder Marouane Fellaini.
As of press time, the name of the club concerned has not been revealed while United have also refused to say whether a fee has been agreed for the player.
Bear in mind that Premier League clubs cannot sign players after Thursday’s 11pm transfer deadline but teams in China are able to complete deals up until February 28.
The 31-year-old midfielder has been linked with a big-money move to the Chinese Super League despite Ole Gunnar Solskjær having said he expects all his players to remain in January.
Fellaini is still recovering from a calf injury and is not expected to be involved in tonight’s match at Burnley.
Fellaini was David Moyes’s sole major signing in the summer 2013 window and has struggled to be accepted by some United fans.
José Mourinho oversaw his contract extension but the Belgian has struggled for game-time under the Portuguese’s temporary successor.
